CNN’s Rosa Flores did not appear to be buying into a White House explanation for President Joe Biden not visiting with migrants during his trip to the border. Flores has reported for CNN directly from El Paso, Texas, highlighting the sometimes grueling conditions for thousands.
In a Monday segment with CNN’s Poppy Harlow, Flores highlighted criticism from both sides of the political aisle of Biden’s trip, including from Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R).
Flores reported:
“That’s why the president is being criticized by both sides because of what he didn’t see. So let me show you. This is one of the migrant camps here in downtown El Paso. And you know, the immigration advocates here in El Paso and Governor Greg Abbott usually don’t agree on much but they do raise the same question. If President Biden came here to El Paso to see the reality on the ground about the border and didn’t come here, what’s considered the epicenter of this crisis, did he leave with a clear understanding?”
